I Transmigrated into a Novel to Change Others' Tragic Fates

Gu Xi was a well-adjusted young woman of the twenty-first century. After work, she went home, took a hot shower, and opened an old angsty novel. She suddenly fell asleep, and when she woke up, she had transmigrated into the book. Well, if she had to transmigrate into a book, so be it. But she had become a character who wasn't even important enough to count as a villainous supporting character.

This story really was awful. Worst of all, it was the life of someone inside a book: Gu Xi.

But it seemed that this wasn't as simple as transmigrating into a book. She thought it would be a journey through novels, but every journey turned out to be a gamble with her life. Sometimes, when she was fighting to survive, other people's lives seemed less important. On these repeated journeys through death's door, it felt as though she was responsible not only for her own life, but for her teammates' lives too.

In this "game," staying alive always comes first. There are no absolute allies or absolute enemies, only people acting in their own interests. This is the Main System's only warning.

She thought that once she earned enough points, she could return to her original world. But it seemed that wasn't the case. Was the world we returned to really the one we started in? Was that first world really our original world?

Everything and everyone told me this was my original world, and that even if it wasn't, there was no point digging any deeper. But I always remember that I have to take a group of people who mean a lot to me home, back to our real home. Gu Xi

Coming soon: Sinking Into Love

They first met in a bar, where flashing lights and glamorous distractions dazzled the eye. Li Anzhou had come to drown her sorrows, while Gu Qi had come on a whim to flirt. Neither of them expected to meet again.

"You're too young to be going out like an adult. Learn some decency first. I'm not interested in having an affair with you.", Li Anzhou

They met for the second time at Gu Qi's welcome-home banquet. Li Anzhou had been dragged there by her family, and Gu Qi had no choice but to show up. Neither of them expected their arranged-marriage partner to be the other.

"So, can I be friends with you this time, Sister? Wait, you're my fiancée. We can skip the friends part and go straight to the next step.", Gu Qi

What began as a business marriage, a mere exchange of interests, should have had no place for love in a world of wealth and status, only power and money. But Gu Qi's love spread like ivy. Whoever fell in love first would be at a disadvantage in this game of competing interests.

"You win this time, Sister. You've taken my love, but I'm sure I'll get yours.", Gu Qi

Before Li Anzhou had returned Gu Qi's love, the woman Li Anzhou had once truly loved came back. She was gentle, sophisticated, and more mature than Gu Qi. It was obvious how well she and Li Anzhou suited each other. Like the beloved first love in a novel returning from abroad, she had come back, and Gu Qi, who wasn't even a cherished old flame, was bound to fade into the background.

"It's my fault, Sister. You won't love me more. She already has the most passionate love you've ever given, and I don't even know whether you love me. But I love you.", Gu Qi

But in the end, Gu Qi got what she wanted. Li Anzhou promised her the rest of her life, and Gu Qi would stay by Li Anzhou's side until they grew old.

A seemingly cool and distant CEO who's actually a flirtatious, teasing older woman × a seemingly carefree, flirtatious actress who's actually a warm, enthusiastic puppy

Marriage first, love later. Both leads are strong. They are not each other's first. The second female lead really was Li Anzhou's first love, but Li Anzhou has only memories of her now, not love.

Theme: For love.
